" You Had Your Chance "

“You Had Your Chance”

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

( Verse 1 )

I told my family, I told my friends,

No surgery, no fight, just the way it ends.

I wanted to spend what time I had left,

Making memories deep, with the ones I love best.

( Verse 2 )

I reached out with open hands,

Prayed you’d meet me where I stand.

Laughter, stories, moments to share,

But I stood alone in the cold quiet air.

( Chorus )

Not one plan, not one call,

No time made, no time at all.

So when I die, don’t shed a tear,

You had your chance while I was here.

( Verse 3 )

I gave you the gift of borrowed time,

To walk beside me, hand in mine.

But silence spoke louder than words,

A lesson in love that went unheard.

( Chorus )

Not one plan, not one call,

No time made, no time at all.

So when I die, don’t shed a tear,

You had your chance while I was here.

( Bridge )

And when I’m gone, when regret sets in,

Don’t search for answers where none have been.

I asked for love, you turned away,

Now don’t cry tomorrow for what you lost today.

( Final Chorus / Outro gentle, fading)

Not one plan, not one call,

No time made, no time at all.

Don’t cry for me, don’t ask why,

You had every chance to say your goodbyes
